As all Chicagoans know, it's a blessing and curse when summer finally arrives. It's time to shed the layers and enjoy the outdoors with your furry friend.
However, how do you keep them cool? As you know, select breeds are more sensitive to the heat. Here's some summer essentials to beat the heat for small to large breeds:
We highly recommend ~ Cooling Bandanas
They're lightweight and use evaporative cooling process to bring down your dogâs temperature. Simply wet and tie around their neck.
This Summer we have three patterns to choose from: (in Small, Medium, Large)
Ice Ice Baby, Toucan. and Ice Cream
If you're not a bandana fan, try a Cooling Vest
Available in Small, Medium, Large
Stay hydrated with a Travel Water Dispensers
Available in Red + Grey
Portable and foldable lined bowls available in one size (5" x 5" x 3") in multiple colors: Graphite, Volcano Black, Desert Red
Definitely avoid walking on the hot pavement, the shade is your friend :)
Consider booties like Lavasox
If you're a Saltsox fan, you'll love these ~ we can size you up and special order these for you in-store. Same-week turnaround since vendor is local.
Homemade frozen fillers for their Tuxs, Toppls, or Kongs
Dog Pool if there's no time for the beach
Available in three sizes: Small, Medium, Large
Doggie Ice Cream of course!
We hope you find these summer essentials helpful. When in doubt or in severe hot temperature, keep your pups indoors or limit activities to the early mornings or evenings.
Stay pawsome + Thanks for reading đž
